Yeah Steve Vai is the best modern guitarist, He's one of my idols and influence, very melodic and great technical ability....For the Love of God is the best solo ever. Rock on Stevie !!!!

I just wonder why he said that Yngwie Malmsteen is the best when it comes to speed picking technique...I think he was just joking, for the benefit of a doubt I bought the Yngwie Lessons and video. And boy I realized Steve was serious..from then on Malmsteen earned my respect coz my Idol mentioned him. Maybe Malmsteen is better and faster when it comes to technique, but when It comes to music ...Vai definitely rulez.
